The 1st Satellite Observations of Volcanic Clouds Conference (SOVCC) will take place virtually (on Microsoft Teams) during the afternoon (UTC) of 7th-9th (Wednesday-Friday) June 2023.

This conference has been set up by an international collaboration of scientists from the Met Office, University of Reading, the Convective and Volcanic Clouds (CVC) training school organising group, and several other institutions. Conference goals (Re-)connect the entire community of experts

2023 in the legend. After the front moved through during the evening and overnight 18 to 19 October, the main rainfall event occurred during the 20th as heavy extensive rain spread back across England and Wales, this including some heavier bursts. The maps below show daily rainfall totals for each day

around 30 to 31 December. Transport disruption continued with flooded railways and fallen trees blocking roads in Wales, while Dumfries and Galloway experienced severe flooding as the River Nith burst its banks. Flooding impacts continued into the New Year period, and in early January included large

Altocumulus castellanus clouds take their name from their resemblance to the turrets of castles and are often a warning of thunderstorms.

Height of base:  (7,000 - 18,000 ft). Shape: A collection of small individual clouds, sometimes with “castle” towers proceeding from the top. Latin:  altum - height; cumulus – heap; castellanus = like a castle Precipitation:  Usually a few large droplets of rain, often evaporating before they reach

Adrian works on cloud microphysics and aerosol-cloud interactions.

Current activities Adrian is a scientist working on cloud microphysics and aerosol-cloud interactions in the cloud-scale modelling group. Adrian uses the Met Office Large Eddy Model in conjunction with a 1-D framework, KiD and a parcel model, to simulate a variety of cloud regimes and investigate

. Showers While showers are technically a type of rain, they usually fall from individual clouds you can see in the sky so the rain will be on and off, with gaps of drier and brighter weather in between. It is quite hit and miss where they occur, and this means that you could get heavy showers

guidance may be helpful: a. The meteorological conditions are listed in a specific order. In the weather section, the best visibility is given first. Any mountain wave activity would come towards the bottom, followed by turbulence information, and finally hill fog. b. Cloud information is given

Scotland. Anticyclones normally bring settled weather, however the seasons and origin of the airmass often result in differences in cloud cover. For example, whilst we associate high pressure as bringing fine sunny weather to the UK during the summer, the same high pressure can lead to extensive
